The Schäfer­gruppe Bretten e.V. was foun­ded in 1964 and is ded­ic­ated to show­cas­ing tra­di­tion­al shep­herd­ing. The group has its roots in the Peter and Paul Fest­iv­al in Bretten, where it has main­tained its own shep­herds’ encamp­ment for many years, vividly present­ing the life of shep­herds through tra­di­tion­al cloth­ing, dances, and authen­t­ic tools. Over the years, what began as a small group has grown into a com­munity of around 200 members.

Dur­ing Luther’s Wed­ding, the Schäfer­gruppe par­ti­cip­ates in the parade and offers insights into the way of life and daily routines of shep­herds from days gone by. The group is also known for par­ti­cip­at­ing in the parades bare­foot and for its char­ac­ter­ist­ic call, ​“Hammele Mäh.”

You can find us at Wallstraße.
